Care at BIDMC.
Located within a general medical unit,
the ACOVE program is an interdisciplinary inpatient program designed
to improve overall quality of patient care and to prevent patient
functional and cognitive decline and iatrogenic complications in acutely
ill elders. Ideal patients for the unit are older patients (preferably
70+ years of age) who are at risk for loss or deterioration of independent
functioning during a hospitalization for an acute illness. An interdisciplinary
team, including a Medical Director, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Primary
Nurse, House Staff, Rehabiliation Therapist, Case Manager and Social
Worker meet daily to establish and implement a plan of care. Specific
important outcomes of care for this population include:
-
Reduction in permanent
nursing home placements
-
Decrease in readmissions
-
Decrease in use of restraints
-
Decrease in rate of
falls with injury
-
Decrease in the use
of urinary catheters
-
Decrease in delirium
-
Decrease in total number
of medications administered
-
Improve patient and
family satisfaction with care.
-
The perioperative nursing
staff provide patient-focused care to the surgical patient population,
including cardiothoracic, vascular, orthopedics, neurosurgery, transplant,
general surgery, trauma, ENT, ophthalmology, and urology patients
on two campuses.

Practice is developed,
implemented, and reviewed, by the Perioperative Practice and Performance
Improvement Committee. Membership includes perioperative leaders and
staff.
-
Staff development opportunities
include the Perioperative
Program for clinical nurses and surgical technicians, with

and clinical orientation by perioperative clinical experts on ongoing
education.
